Still wouldn’t count Gibson out for Kstate. Still a couple of days before Kstate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiz Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 Not new news but..... This is the 1st official injury report of the season 12/18/19 French ...Hip injury...Status ...Questionable...outlook for Sat...Hazy Jimerson....Foot injury...Status ...Questionable....Outlook for Sat...unknown These injury outlooks read more like a weather forecast...and may be just as accurate...but at least you know what the general public sees .... On another note, I am going to list here a stat I usual skip because...well because, I don't think much of it....However , in this case because we are a national leader , I will show it....Defense...FT%...The Bills A+....14th ITN.......Defend FTs??? ......seems like a useless stat....You can't defend a FT ...but the numbers are just skewed enough to show there is something to it...The theory goes that the good teams foul the other team's bad players and lower the opp FT%...or in our case we are so bad , we throw the other team off and bring them down to our level. In any case, this stat lessens the blow of being last in FT% shooting. Going forward I will list this stat as long as we remain at A+ ...it is a small advantage and once the grade slips the advantage becomes insignificant. For the doubters....here is an article by KenPom which explains it further. https://kenpom.com/blog/is-free-throw-defense-real/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old guy Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Team rankings reported the Vegas inspired estimated scores for the game: SLU 61.5, K State 61.5. We are even with K State. Team rankings gives us a low confidence edge to win the game though. This will be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills10 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Espn has KSU BY 1 with a seemingly high confidence of a KSU win with such a small spread. I’ll take the Bills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierPal Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 3. Goodwin is the first Billiken in 30 years to register six consecutive double-doubles. Anthony Bonner in 1989-90 (twice) is the only other Billiken to do so. No Billiken has ever recorded seven straight double-doubles (dating back to 1985-86 season). That's some high cotton. Also, if this game is truly looked at as an Away game rather than a Neutral Site game, it will help our NET with a win. With KSU at 121, this would be a Q2 Away game, rather than a Q3 Neutral game.

Old guy Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I am going to assume that if French plays today he will play as needed, and not for the full duration of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Checked team rankings, as of now their interpretation of the Vegas spread is 2 pts in favor of K State. Of course, as we all know the "experts" will favor the traditionally high power team vs the dark horse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he would still be eligible for a medical redshirt. This is a big loss, but we still have some rounds in the chamber for outside shooters (Jacobs, Tay, and hopefully Perkins).

We play 31, counting Maryville. I think it is 30% for a waiver, which would be 9.3. Yes he is at 10. Hopefully I am wrong. https://slubillikens.com/news/2019/12/21/mens-basketball-jimerson-sidelined-for-the-rest-of-season.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The example I saw said if the player played 9 out of 27, he is still eligible for a med redshirt so I think he might still qualify Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I think it will depend on the NCAA's decision of whether the Maryville game counts or not for the purpose of giving him a redshirt. I can see him going back to Richmond, for the Christmas recess, and not playing for the rest of the season, but I assume he will be back at SLU to continue his academic courses, with a boot of course.

HoosierPal Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 With Thatch still MIA, it looks like we are down to a nine man rotation. Here's hoping Weaver can find is Down Town connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
